Seriously - Fish Tacos:

infamousmk

How do you like 'em? I make mine with cod fillets - seasoned with S&P, cayenne, paprika, and lime. Toss 'er on the grill and cook 'er up. I use small flour tortillas, pre-shredded cabbage, that white goat-cheese-like cheese that's in the mexican cheese section, and greek yogurt. Oh, and lots of Sriacha. Not because it's a mexican condiment, but because it's really good on fish tacos. Also - avocado: Do you make it in to guac or do you just use slices? I'm a slices-only kinda gal.

I prefer Ono or Tilapia for fish, marinated in lime, salt and olive oil. I use corn tortillas, shredded cabbage, fresh diced tomatoes and Greek yogurt slightly thinned with lime juice. I haven't used avocado, but if I did it would be sliced or diced. Served with a side of whole pinto beans.

I love fish tacos! I grew up in SD and I still miss street tacos in Baja, but I will take any fish taco you throw my way. Your version sounds fab! They've got to have cabbage and some sort of white/lime sauce on or I don't consider it an official fish taco, just saying.

bump, have to try this Thanks

OP I knew there was a reason I kept you around!!!! That's my FAV fish taco!! :bigsmile:



edit to correct my typo and add: & I love to put extra lime on them along with cilantro. Cilantro just makes the flavor explode / the lime!

Oh my...soooo love em!! My fave on white corn tortillas, white codfish, with sliced avocadoes, diced tomatoes, diced green onions, shredded cabbage, and home made salsa and a slice of lime to squeeze the juice on top!! Yum!!!

Tiplapia pan fried using olive oil. (Usually I will mix up what spices I put on the fish). Guacamole and salsa, shredded lettuce and diced tomato. No cheese (lactose intolerant, but I do eat some cheese here and there, but I hear ya on the goat cheese). All on a corn round that has been pan fried with no oil (just to heat it up). YUM

I love you MK! I'll take them any way, as long as it's a corn tortilla, gotta be GF to get in this belly. NOM.

mmmmmmmmm 9am and HUNGRY!!!!

I have a little aversion to cooked fish, I'll eat it raw no problems but I do mine like this.

Soft corn tortilla

Mashed avocado with chopped garlic, eschallotts, fine chopped tomato and a drop of sweet chilli sauce, S&P ( i think you guys call this gaucamole??)

Juice of one lime, spanish paprika, chillip powder, S&P, cummin powder, corriander powder and olive oil, swish that around and put in to marinate for at least 1/2 hr with some large prawns

Home made coleslaw, I make it with chopped cabbage, carrots, beetroots, broccoli and make the mayo with sour cream, S&P, lime juice and a bit of olive oil to make it all come together.

Fry the prawns on a hot iron pan or on a grill with just a bit of olive oil youwant the prawns to be a bit crispy...

Put it all together and top with jalapenos!

nom nom nom....

I used to take Gortons grilled fillets, break them up and put them in a soft tortilla.
I have to wait till I can raise my sodium levels beciase tortillas have 500mg of sodium each.
